I like the idea that, ultimately, even mechanical objects are made of stardust and come back to nature once their time is over. Here, this old abandoned tractor is already preyed upon by vegetation. Slow combustion known as rust will do the rest...
Just an old thing shot at dusk in a field. I chose this one because of the "animal look" it had in the first place.

Rust in the Georgia hills .Rust is an iron oxide, usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of iron and oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy, and form under different circumstances.[1] Rust consists of hydrated iron(III) oxides Fe2O3·nH2O and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3).
Given sufficient time, oxygen, and water, any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. Surface rust is flaky and friable, and it provides no protection to the underlying iron, unlike the formation of patina on copper surfaces. Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Many other metals undergo equivalent corrosion, but the resulting oxides are not commonly called rust.
Our bodies may get old, and our weapons may rust, but humanity's thirst for violence thrives.
~Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, which we see as rust.

I couldn't believe it when I found this Lily in some leaves of flowers. I liked the rust color. I am glad the flowers are lasting. Cool nights and rain helped.

During my drive through some back roads of Iowa, I came across a collection of rusted farm equipment.
It was interesting to walk among them.
I came across this old dilapidated motor vehicle in somebody's front yard - it has clearly seen better days!
HSS everybody!

Who knows what the original device was but it seems to have been converted to a cart to haul irrigation pipe around the property. It stands out by the bails of piled hay. Days of duty may be bygone. The field beyond don't look too stinkin' good neither. I was told the field needs some serious work. The first crop was usually to grow alfalfa to invest it with nitrogen. The first farm crop ought to be growing champeen soil. It's a can of cake after that. Everything goes into a chipper-shredder, including cottonseed meal, alfalfa, shredded tree limbs, autumn leaves, grass clippings and kitchen leftovers. Pretty soon the soil is primo and will grow anything.
The series slipped over to the horse-drawn implements, as long as I have a long way to go on the genealogy, scanning, retouching and documenting journey that has cost me a couple of months so far, sheesh. My eclipse shots are still languishing on my disc. I suppose that if McIntosh worked his soil, he probably set a field to grass hay or alfalfa that could be baled or stored in the silo for winter feed for his dairy cattle.
The Ag Museum is still open for weekends, including Fridays for a while into fall. It's probably time for a leisurely stroll down to Mac Lake. I loaded up with autumn captures this year in general and accessed the only snow Saturday last winter. As always, it's a great spot for exercise and access to Mac Lake. There is always something more at McIntosh but I won't search today. I apparently can't find everything in a single pass. I like the natural patina of the rusting tones as they were. There is great diversity in those tones.
